D.1    Mandatory Software Subsets

The mandatory subsets shown in Table D-2 are always installed automatically for the default and custom installations.

The Base System and the Base System-Hardware Support subsets cannot be deleted once they are installed.

The Standard Kernel Modules, the Kernel Header and Common Files, the Hardware Kernel Modules, the Hardware Kernel Header and Common Files, and the Compiler Back End subsets contain all the files needed to build a standard kernel. You can delete these subsets after the installation by using the setld -d command to reclaim disk space after the kernel is built. However, you will not be able to rebuild your kernel. If you need to rebuild your kernel for any reason, you must reinstall those subsets with the setld command.

Table D-2 describes the mandatory subsets.

Nested X Server This software subset provides the Xnest server and contains the following: the Xnest server binary /usr/bin/X11/Xnest, the Xnest shared library /usr/shlib/libxnest.so, and the Xnest configuration file /var/X11/Xnest.conf. Xnest is a client and a server. Xnest is a client of the real Xserver and appears in a window no more than 3/4 the size of the real server. Xnest is also a server. Clients specify the Xnest server display; Xnest then manages graphics requests on behalf of the clients.  OSFXNEST410  Requires Basic X Environment 
Netscape Navigator Gold V3.0 This software subset contains the Netscape Navigator World Wide Web viewer that is used to view the Digital UNIX documentation set on line. This software subset is mandatory on systems with graphics capabilities.  OSFNETSCAPE410  Basic X Environment 
Old Additional DECwindows Applications This software subset provides additional X11/DECwindows client applications such as dxcalc (a calculator), dxcalendar, dxcardfiler, dxclock, dxnotepad, and dxpaint (a bitmap editor). These applications will be retired in a future release of Digital UNIX.  OSFOLDDECW410  Requires Basic X Environment 
Virtual X Frame Buffer This software subset provides the Xvfb server and contains the following: Xvfb server binary /usr/bin/X11/Xvfb, the Xvfb shared library /usr/shlib/libxvfb.so, and the Xvfb configuration file /var/X11/Xvfb.conf. The Xvfb server can run on machines with no display hardware and no physical input devices. It emulates a dumb frame buffer using virtual memory.  OSFXVFB410  Requires Basic X Environment
